How can I make myself fall asleep?

1. Have a routine (waking up at the same time is more important)
2. Turn your devices off 15-20 mins before bed
3. Practice mindfulness (think about what happened today and what you're proud of)
4. Take 5-HTP and Magnesium 30 mins before bed (when you turn your devices off)
5. Box breathe whilst lying in bed (4 seconds in, 4 seconds hold, 4 seconds exhale, 4 seconds hold).

Focus on waking up. You cannot force yourself to fall asleep, but you can force yourself to wake up. Like everything in life, don't waste time on what you cannot control.

Your sleeplessness will make the first few days difficult, but at some point you'll simply be physically tired enough that you will sleep when you go to bed.

There's nothing wrong with alarms, just pick a progressive and non-aggressive tune. No idea why people inflict retarded loud beeps on themselves.

Also, as I sperged about here, find a way to make Internet unavailable when you're in bed unless you're 100% confident you have the self-discipline to stop using it and not care (not feel tempted) at a specific time.

Just be careful with the 5htp, it can make you nauseous.

Raw ether. If not available in your area, break out your emergency stash of chloroform.

As to wake up without a peaky alarm clock, what I do is set up an elaborate Rube Goldberg machine that involves molten lava, an old school tube amplifier, and a mannequin.

I can't tell you any more.

Stop drinking caffeine.
Move around enough during the day that you're tired at night.
When my kids can't sleep I tell them to lie completely still for 15 minutes and apparently it's always worked.
